Actually, you have it the other way around, inflame. Java developed their software for a BETA version of Google Chrome.

It’s quite stupid to develop a browser which supports ONLY something that is STILL IN BETA. Don’t know what they were thinking.

Listen to Vladimir.

Java *does* work. You just need the ultra latest version of it.

There are a couple of performance problems with Flash, mainly.

For Java to work in Chrome you need Java 6 Update 10 RC version.
How to do that is explained here:

Thanks for your thoughts. I think it is very amusing that you managed to crash it.

I’m really itching to get the Linux/Mac versions so I can really test it. I’m not going to be spending much time running Windows so it doesn’t make sense to use it for any period of time. I did spend about an hour with it yesterday afternoon and found the speed to be very nice. javascript heavy applications in facebook were much more responsive, gmail rocked, gcal rocked.

Yep, needs to be cleaned up a bit though. The tab issue is one I’d run into if I was running it for days. I’m curious to see what happens after people have had a chance to let it take days of abuse. Firefox can be a bit touchy if I haven’t closed it for a week or so in Linux.

Howdy Anjan and Barry,

Thanks for stopping by… Yeah, isn’t it crazy Google passed on Java support?.

I was quite excited to install Google Chrome as soon as it was available for public download. However, I am bit disappointed after few hours of use.

I agree that Chrome is light weight and fast. I could open more than 30 tabs and still working fine.

What disappointed me most is, it crashed after few minutes of use. See this Google chrome reviews to find more about the Google chrome crash report – http://www.indiastudychannel.com/resources/35865-Google-chrome-reviews.aspx

Hey,

I tried it yesterday and could not get Java to work.
Searching their question database yields that you need Java 1.6.0_10 for it to work, so I’ll have to have a look and confirm it.
Flash worked fine

Regards,

Barry
